Psychotherapy is an opportunity to look at your deepest fears and face them with the support of an experienced and trusted therapist. At the Healing Journey Psychotherapy, I am committed to work with you and support you through a style that is relational, inquisitive, compassionate and challenging. My areas of expertise include surviving sexual abuse, domestic violence, chronic pain and the after effects of traumatic experiences in relationships.
I am here to help you navigate complex family dynamics as a result of these traumatic experiences given the fact post traumatic experiences can manifest in oneself and in relationships to others. I provide trauma focused, culturally sensitive and body inclusive psychotherapy taking into account your interests and uniqueness.
I invite you to explore the information on my website in order to consider if we can walk your healing journey together. I am currently open to new referrals so feel free to connect via psychology today or schedule a first time appointment through the website.
